At Circus Poker you’ll find Texas Hold ‘em as well as Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 5 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud. Most poker games at Circus are played in US$ but of course it’s no problem to deposit and withdraw using your ££’s account.

The Guaranteed Tournaments are huge at Circus, with an incredible $16,000,000 in guaranteed prizes each month. There’s the weekly $35,000 guaranteed tournament each Saturday, and a $60,000 guaranteed tournament on Fridays. The big event is the Sunday tournament with a guaranteed $200,000 prize pool. All tournaments have plenty of satellites with low buy-ins throughout the week, so there’s a lot of chances for you to win seats for the top events.

Circus Poker is operated by the Genting Group, owners of over 40 casinos in a wide range of locations around the UK, including the Circus, Mint, Maxims and Star City casinos. This brings a big advantage for Circus Poker players : you can play online to win seats in great live tournaments that are held regularly in the casinos, eg. the ‘Liverpool Live’, ‘Blackpool Mega Stack’ and ‘Stoke Anniversary Cup’ tournaments. So players all around the UK can enjoy these special tournaments by winning a seat online.

The top live casino event is the ‘Big Game’ held every month at the Palm Beach Casino in Mayfair, London. This tournament has a £1000 buy-in with an estimated prize pool of £70,000 – but lucky players at Circus Poker can win a seat at the Big Game by playing online in weekly satellites with just £25 buy-in. You can even gain free entry to the Big Game by working your way up, starting with the daily freerolls offering seats for the weekly satellite tournament.

Hall of Fame : Money is nice, but wouldn’t you also like some fame and glory? At Circus the glory is yours by winning the weekly Hall of Fame tournament. Not only do you take your share of the prize pool, plus potentially a big jackpot prize, plus free entry to the next Hall of Fame tournament, plus entry to a special freeroll, but best of all your name is permanently entered into the Hall of Fame AND the next week’s Hall of Fame tournament will be named in your honour!

Sit&Go’s : At Circus Poker there’s regular SnG’s as well as a range of jackpot SnG games, like the ‘Dirty Dozen’ $2,000 jackpot – with a $2 buy-in you can get the jackpot prize by winning 4 in a row.
